Why ghost_delete_tag needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on Ghost CMS data. While tags may have lower individual criticality than posts or core site data, the permanent nature of the deletion and the fact that tags are organizational metadata that could be referenced by multiple posts elevates this to a Destructive classification.

From the tool's definition The description explicitly states 'Deletes a tag from Ghost CMS by ID. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone.' The tool irreversibly removes data without possibility of recovery.

POLICY

How to control ghost_delete_tag

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ghost MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ghost_delete_tag:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "ghost_delete_tag"
  ]
}

ghost_delete_tag disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Ghost MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
